..........................................................................................

Municipal Square, around the crystal wall.

Watching several famous singers walk out with the adult choir and children's choir, standing behind the band in a semicircle, the people around are full of consternation.

"What is this?"

"Why is Mr. Fabricini here?"

"Isn't the last part a symphony, it's a chorus?"

......

They were only amazed at what was going on, and they didn't understand why singers, choirs, and children's choirs were present at Lucian Evans' concert, and the piece was clearly a symphony in D minor!

Listening to the discussion around her, Betty said to her sister Joanna in confusion, "Could it be that Mr. Evans's symphony will include a chorus passage?"

"How is this possible? There has never been a symphony with a choral part! this is not an oratorio!" said a nearby Aalto citizen who was a long-time lover of symphonies.

Seeing that her sister was questioned, Joanna snorted lightly: "Mr. Evans is known for his change and innovation, is his previous "Destiny" and "New Country" perfectly in line with the traditional symphonic structure?"

Similar controversies have taken place in various parts of the Town Square, raising the curiosity of Lucien Evans' last symphony.

In the chant hall, watching Fabricini and others rushing out, Christopher sighed: "He really wants to add a vocal chorus part to the symphony, which is really a bold innovation, I don't know what the effect of the symphony is?"

Although Lucien's rehearsals were kept secret, the Aalto Musicians Guild was not large. Fabrini and others were not obscure people, so most musicians and musicians guessed that Lucien would boldly use a chorus to accompany the symphony.

Accustomed to the changes that Lucien's pieces bring to each piece, the musicians took a wait-and-see attitude. As long as it is not as out-of-the-ordinary as "New Country", they are more looking forward to the innovation of the symphonic form, especially Christopher, who is a generous elder, who is interested in all this. I hope to bring new inspiration to my music creation.

"It's said to be very good, but rehearsing alone and playing in front of a large audience in the Chant Hall are two different things, and the results may be a hundred times better!" Natasha said confidently. It was as if she was the one who composed the music and was about to take the stage to conduct, and at the same time she complained a little in her heart, "This guy is really good at keeping secrets, obviously there have been two symphonies in the past three years, and one of them is close to completion, but he didn't mention a word, is it to create a surprise?"

In her opinion. "From the New World" and "Ode to Joy", two grand symphonies, obviously could not have been composed by Lucien in just over a month after his return to Aalto, and Lucien admitted to composing part of the movement at the time.

Othello shook his head: "But there has never been an attempt at vocal chorus in the symphony, and it is not certain how it will perform in the end, it is an unknown mystery. ”

At this time, a straight tuxedo is being worn. The handsome and quiet Lucien walked out of the backstage with a short baton and saluted in turn to the surroundings.

The chatter in both the chant hall and the town square suddenly stopped abruptly and completely subsided.

That's the beauty of a top musician.

............

Turning and standing in the center of the band's semicircle, Lucien raised his hands in a quiet and ready gesture.

Habitually closing his eyes, reminiscing about the sufferings and contemplations of the past, recalling the scene when he arrived at the port of the Kingdom of Holm after a long and arduous journey, and when he came out of the dark and oppressive wooden crate of goods, he saw Lazar in a black double-breasted gown and a top hat, when the weather was bright and he was smiling, it was like a divine sunshine piercing the darkness and hardship, heralding the coming of light!

Without the accumulation of life and emotion, it is difficult for a conductor to master the music well.

The baton of the right hand and the left hand of the imaginary hand rise and fall gently, as if to capture the feelings and melodies from afar, from the beginning, and the low music plays, as if reverberating from the trills of the heart, and a deep, calm, and serious hazy vista seems to leap into front of everyone's eyes.

Victor only felt an uncontrollable tremor in his soul under the trill, wondering whether it was from the excitement of the melody or the awe of the seriousness and depth it contained.

This tremor crossed the hearts of everyone, including the cardinal, who had the first, deep, intuitive impression of music, which was grand and serious, and seemed to contain a vigorous and unstoppable force, but also a sign of the coming danger, which everyone could not avoid, from birth to death, the difficulties and pains that everyone would experience from birth to death!

Then, the power contained in it gradually grows, the music becomes strong and powerful, the unusually vivid rhythm trembles the heart, and the other theme is depressed and severe, it seems that everyone does not want to face, the difficulties that do not want to come, and the fate that is destined from the beginning, the two themes are repeatedly entangled, so that the entire first movement manifests the unyielding struggle and the cry of never giving up throughout "Destiny" and "Pathétique".

It is mixed with some gentle or high-spirited melodies, which not only set off the hardship and tragedy of the battle with the temporary calm and calm in the process of struggle, but also seems to reveal the sacredness and inevitability of overcoming suffering, defeating the enemy and defeating darkness!

The sixteen-minute first movement flew by in a daze of the audience, ending with a temporary victory in the struggle, which erupted into thunderous applause and unreservedly expressed their affection for the movement.

"The beginning is so grand, so solemn, so deep and solemn, this movement is really brilliant, and the structure is rigorous and solid, it is very perfect, almost without blemish!" Othello, who loved solemn music, did not frown as he had done in "The New Nation" before, but praised it with the kind of praise he could think of for the time being.

Natasha echoed with a little pride: "If the next three movements are still of the same standard, then this one is undoubtedly the top symphony, a classic that can be worshiped by later generations on the same level as "Destiny" and "Dawning War". This concert is really rich, and two of them are new works, so I am afraid that it will be difficult to have a similar situation in the future. ”

But the Grand Duke of Vaorit said with a slight doubt: "In every respect, the first movement deserves your praise. But I always felt like something was missing, that feeling of shock and explosion?"

"Indeed, both from the technique, the structure. In terms of melody and so on, this movement is close to perfection, but it is neither as full of stormy horror and urgency as the first movement of "Destiny", nor as unique as the first chapter of "Pathétique" and "Moonlight". ”

Christopher spoke out of his senses. "Magnificent, deep, severe, etc., it is all displayed, but there is a little less to remember, like a volcano with terrifying power. It occasionally erupted, but it didn't live up to everyone's expectations, and it didn't erupt so naturally, giving people an increasingly oppressive, low, dark feeling. ”

"Mr. Christopher is exactly what I feel, but because of that, I look forward more and more to the explosion of the next movement, which is the key to whether it can become a true classic. "Victor was not without eagerness. Still waiting for the next three movements without doubt, but he also had a faint sense of dark oppression.

The Counts of Hayne, Count Lafatti, and Cardinal Cosse, who sat next to them, had a hard time interjecting into their musical discussions, but this did not prevent them from identifying with Christopher's senses, and although the struggle in the first movement ended in a magnificent, temporary victory over the enemy and darkness, they felt themselves alone in the darkness. There is still a lot of suffering and danger ahead.

This is a common feeling of all people.

Soon after, the second movement began under the direction of Lucien, and contrary to the tradition that the movement had to be in the form of a slow movement, a lively and bright melody was played, as if chasing the enemy with the previous victory, as if the darkness had disappeared for a short time, and the bright blue sky and brilliant sunlight could be seen, giving an uplifting feeling.

"He's breaking with tradition again. Christopher smiled kindly as if he had expected it, smiling indulgently with the pampering affection of the elders for the juniors.

Othello frowned slightly, but quickly let go, for he felt that it was fitting to use a lively allegro to carry on the solemnity of the first movement, and that he could not think of a better way, and that the change in structure between the movements made him a little more acceptable.

People in the town square who know a little about the symphony will notice this change, but they are more focused on listening to the essence of the music, and they are just as fond of the second movement, which is beautiful and has just the right atmosphere.

Since the second movement is so brilliant and so persistent, it proves that a structural change is necessary!

The advance of victory continued, but the darkness seemed to creep down again, and the enemy seemed to be surrounded from all sides, and the rapid melody brought a sense of tension to everyone.

It was in this unsettling mood that the second movement ended, and the audience cheered themselves and Lucien into a tidal wave of applause again, as if the more enthusiastic the applause, the less lonely they were, the more they could unite and overcome the darkness and the sinister together.

Few symphonies have received such enthusiastic applause at the pauses of each movement!

After the applause, everyone did not speak, and the deep depression and darkness in the heart became more and more intense, and the hidden volcano stopped erupting, as if it was accumulating an astonishing and terrifying force.

After a short break and contemplation, Lucien flicked his baton again, allowing the orchestra to follow his mood in the third movement.

The serene and serene melody reverberates softly and smoothly, making one fall into quiet contemplation.

No musician argues that the structure of this movement is no longer an allegro, but a beautiful adagio, as soft as a song. After the fierce or exhilarating or tragic or uneasy struggle of the first two movements, everyone urgently needs a time to think quietly, to think about what they are fighting for, to think about the meaning of their own fighting, to recall all kinds of hardships and efforts in the whole process of struggle, so as to accumulate new strength and reap brilliant and joyful victories!

Do you do everything smoothly?

Have you ever felt the joy that comes from your heart after overcoming difficulties?

Have you been attacked by difficulties at every turn in your life?

Do you fight bravely in the face of them, or do you give up in frustration?

......

In quiet thought, Victor once again recalled the difficulties of his life, and he never became a musician smoothly:

Forgetting everything and locking up in the room, he socialized with the aristocracy and the musicians' association against his heart's desires, so he 'prayed' for a concert to come, but he was hit by failure. It was the merciless exit of the audience, the malicious ridicule of most of the people around him, and he was almost crushed by difficulties and darkness. Thanks to Winnie's encouragement, she was able to stand up again and work tenfold to regain the opportunity to hold the concert, and reaped the success. But before she could fulfill her promise, Winnie was called by the Lord's grace......

Natasha thought of the past, and she was born noble. The blood is top, the family is harmonious, and it seems to be as happy as the favor of the god of truth, but life will never be smooth sailing, and in a short period of time, the brother died in battle and the mother died. Allowing himself to close his mind, carrying a heavy burden, he threw himself completely into the hard training of the knights.

And when you find your own chivalry, get out of the shadow of the past, and usher in a beautiful relationship and a new life. A cruel betrayal that could have been avoided befell him, and for the sake of all those who supported and cherished him, he had to endure the pain of killing his lover, and was almost killed by his cousin's men, but fortunately, Lucian, a good friend, saved him regardless of life and death......

Lucien, who is in command, is also thinking about all kinds of tribulations, the dark past haunts his heart, they are so oppressive and dangerous, but he gives himself the harvest of moving forward, so that he can run towards the light, chase the sun and success, never stop, never give up.

Have you ever had a dark, oppressive, decadent and painful experience?

Have you learned from this experience and strengthened yourself and moved forward stronger, or have you fallen into it and never been able to extricate yourself?

Do you yearn for light and success?

Are you ready for the darkness and treachery of the path that leads to them?

In the quiet and soft melody, the strong but restrained feelings give everyone the strength to contemplate, accumulate strength in the memory of all kinds of sufferings in the past, brew emotions, undercurrent turbulence, and look forward to catharsis, as if the inner emotions want to break through everything in the repression and suffering again and again, as if the hidden volcano is whispering in the heart, and it is about to erupt vigorously that cannot be contained.

Before you know it, the third movement ends, and the accumulated bits and pieces make everyone feel an uncontrollable gushing.

Having suffered so much in their lives, they can't wait to rush to the light, meet the victory, and reap the success!

Lucian's movements became violently intense, and the fourth movement began with a volcanic eruption, so that the strength gained from contemplation, the low emotions brewing were channeled like a flood, breaking through all shackles, defeating all enemies, defeating all dangers!

Such an outburst lifted the mood of the listeners in the Psalm Hall and the Municipal Square, as if they were about to see a bright dawn and a glorious victory!

But the darkness still lingers, the difficulties remain, and the melody repeats the first three movements in fragments, once again giving a thrilling sense of struggle and danger.

It's not yet victory, we have to keep moving forward, and we have to rush to the light!

The melody of Ode to Joy is played softly under the double bass, and the solemn, light, bright and joyful tune seems to soothe people.

But it's not enough, it's not enough!

It is as if people have come to the brink of victory after countless efforts, but the light is only aware of it, and it has not really come!

It's like Victor's second concert, when he finishes the piece, but the audience hasn't reacted yet, and they don't know if it's a success, and the depression, anticipation, hesitation, and tension still exist.

The tone of Ode to Joy gradually developed into the whole band, becoming more and more distinct, more and more large, and countless streams quickly merged into a torrent.

But it's not enough, it's not enough!

It's as if Lucien had arrived at the port of Padre in the Kingdom of Holm, but the lid of the crate had not yet been lifted, and everything was still dark and oppressive.

All the spectators, including Natasha, unconsciously clenched their fists and wanted to cheer for victory.

But it's not enough, it's not enough!

Suddenly, a baritone sang majestically:

"Ah, friends, why sing the old tunes?"

"Still let us sing"

"Let's join in a chorus of joy!"

It was like being struck by lightning, like witnessing an angel descending, and an indescribable shiver burst from the depths of everyone's soul and spread to the whole body.

Passionate praises and joyful and sacred melodies flood in, drowning everything. Break through everything!

"Joy, joy. ”

"Joyful Angels Holy Beauty"

"Brilliant Light Shines on the Earth"

......

The emotions that have not been able to be completely vented completely swelled out at this moment, and everyone's soul became ethereal because of the emotion. Filled with the ultimate divine pleasure.

It is like going through a long period of darkness and seeing the first rays of sunlight that break through the darkness and the clouds are still like the earth, it is so solemn and solemn, and it is so bright and sacred!

It's like Victor receiving warm applause after going through countless difficulties and setbacks. Got real success, that moment, this moment. Both of his eyes were filled with tears.

It's like the lid of the wooden box is lifted, Lucien sits up and sees the smiling Lazar and the bright blue sky, his mood is extremely comfortable and moving, and all the dangers and depressions of the past seem to have paid off at this moment.

Without bitterness, there is no sweetness.

Without tribulation, there is no harvest.

Without hard work, there will be no success.

There is no pain, difficulty, and depression. How can there be such extreme, such pure joy?

At this moment, it was as if the souls were all shocked, completely lost in the music, lost in the repeated ode to joy in the four voices, and they all felt heartfelt happiness with tears of emotion. Praise the gift of the God of truth!

"On this beautiful land"

"Rejoice for all beings"

"All people, whether high or low"

"All by God's Grace"

......

Singing an ode to joy that seemed to praise the God of truth, feeling the joy and divine flowing music surrounding, seeing the faces of the audience below that were moved and happy and containing tears, Fabrini felt the divine greatness of the music with some trembling, the divine greatness of this song, he was inexplicably moved, and while singing, tears slid down his clean cheeks.

From birth to the present, from the brutal surgery to the arduous practice, Fabrini felt for the first time a heartfelt joy, unadulterated, simply a joy bestowed by the God of Truth, a joy that made people want to cry.

While the other singers were singing, Fabricini took the opportunity to look at the conductor in front of the band, who was so dedicated, so hard.

What a great musician!

When it was his turn to sing, he became more attentive and emotional.

"Friends, in Heaven"

"The Divine of Charity Watches Over Us"

"All the people worship in devotion"

"Worship the holiness of mercy. ”

Listening to the lyrics that seemed to praise the God of truth, Cardinal Gosse, who had long been touched, and the other bishops and priests present drew a cross on their chests, and the holy is synonymous with the Lord!

Over and over again, over and over again, the orchestra played, the two are so perfectly combined.

When the clear and pure children's chorus issued "Happy Angel Holy Beauty, Brilliant Light Shines on the Earth", all the audience went out again, from the soul to the body, all the previous repressions, all the suffering, all the efforts and all the struggles, all burst out, completely burst out, hearty!

The sun shines on the earth, the joy fills the world, and the symphony draws a perfect rest with Lucian's conduct.

After a few seconds of silence, the people suddenly went crazy, applause like a volcano erupting and the sky falling apart, and they unconsciously rushed forward with tears of excitement and irrepressible emotions, as if they wanted to express their affection and reverence by huddling around Lucien and kissing his body.

Most of the nobles in the chant hall did not care about etiquette, and they got up one after another, rushing towards the stage like a tide.

When the people in the town square realized that there was nothing but a crystal wall in front of them, they could only stop their progress and chant over and over again:

"Lucien Evans. ”

"Lucien Evans"

"Lucien Evans"

......

They seemed to feel that the call of unity could reach the chant hall, to Lucian's ears, to let him know his reverence and affection.

Fabrini had a feeling of still dreaming as he stood on the stage and watched the aristocrats rushing up, but he soon understood that this was the harvest of success, this was the terrifying enthusiasm, and this was the praise that deserved.

"Mr. Evans, accept the applause and greet the audience. Fabrini saw that Lucien had been standing there with his head bowed after he had finished commanding, so he reminded him loudly.

Lucien looked up slowly, his face unusually pale, without a trace of blood.

Then he smiled unusually good, slowly turned around in greetings, pressed his right hand to his chest, and leaned down.

Fabrini was horrified to see Lucien slump to the ground like a swan that had lost all its strength and wings.

The picture of this moment seemed to freeze into black and white in his mind, and on the one hand, it was a passionate scene that boiled like boiling water, and on the other hand, it was unstoppable and slowly slipping. (To be continued.) For mobile phone users, please read it on m.biquge.info. )
